Zordon Questions

[MMPRBlueRanger]

Why did Zordon die rapidly in the MMPR movie from his time warp being shattered but then... Later, his tube was shattered and his goodness spreaded instead of dieing rapidly? Then also, if there was a way to make him come back to life, how court it happen or be possible? Then also another question is, was it ever possible for him to come out of his time warp any way?

[Zabitan]

I chalk it up to two things.

A) The movie did a lot of things differently then the show (The actual armor instead of spandex bodysuits, Mordant instead of Squat, Babboo, and Finster, etc).

B) The whole thing with Zordon, and whetether or not what we saw was the real him or a projection was pretty much made up as it went along.

It's because the movie was not in continuity with the show so the movie writers weren't even aware of much in regards to the show.

In the show Zordon is not physically within the Command Center/Power Chamber's tube instead it's rather just a high-tech communication device. He was freed from his time warp prison in early Turbo so when we saw him again in Space and in a tube again that was actually his physical essence inside of that specific tube that Dark Specter had contained him in.

in regards to Point A - that's correct so the movie events pretty much had nothing to do with the show since there was no Finster, Squatt or Baboo and we had a different introductions to the Ninjazords in the movie compared to Ninjor giving the Ninjazords to the Rangers in the show.

Point B - actually it was mostly consistent since it was usually viewed in the show as Zordon's tube being a communication device but only the ones in the Command Center and Power Chamber. Not all villains would be aware of that though. Dimitria didn't need to be in the tube to survive or communicate she just did it to make the Rangers feel more comfortable since that's how Zordon had communicated with them.

[Sledge's Bounty]

Why did Zordon leave in Turbo? The Rangers still needed him.

[MMPR Forever]

Zordon should have never been written off the show. He was one of the last holdovers from MMPR. The show really lost a lot when he left.

[Captain Codfish]

Its been awhile, but don't you not like anything after MMPR anyway?

I just get confused because I remember the show in the early years saying that Zordon was a real person in a time warp, and would sometimes show clips of Barza from Zyuranger, and the fact that he was a person in the movie.

[Sailor Saban]

I always assumed he was in his time warp in the movie until Ivan attacked. Than once he got out ,he started to age rapidly.

[Usagi Reborn]

It confused me when I first saw the movie but the explanation that movie Zordon wasn't stuck in a time warp ended up making so much sense. Since we know the movie was its own universe.

[Turbo Guy]

Do you guys think Duleca was the movie universe counterpart to Dimitria?

Makes you wonder about the history of the MMPR Movie universe and its future.

no doubt with it being a confusing topic but he was a real person since he had a real body it was just Rita had trapped him in a time warp now whether he lost his body in the trapping or while residing in the time warp is unknown we don't even know if he kept his original form for all we know he just became energy that could take on a certain form.

[Goldar's Revenge]

Its pretty much implied that Zordon lost his physical body in the explosion that trapped him in the time warp.

[Maligore]

Saban was too cheap to show his body exploding.

[MattEmily]

Saban was too cheap to show his body exploding.

not cheap that'd be a scene that censors wouldn't allow they had issues with showing Lokar's explosive end so they made it look like he left not to mention we've never seen any scenes of Rita trapping him in his time warp

[Massive Ego]

They didn't need to show the explosions anyway.

[Racecar Ronny]

MMPR Movie Zordon had his own backstory that wasn't fully fleshed out. Just like the Zordon in the latest movie has his own backstory.

[Movie Ranger]

Ironically the MMPR Movie wasn't in continuity but it was the first mention of Eltar.

[Ranger Black]

Movie Zordon obviously wasn't stuck in a time warp the same way the tv version was. And it was most likely voluntarily to keep him alive to guide Ranger teams.

[KimandTommy]

I don't think the Ninjetti powers saved him. It was Tommy ane Kim's love.
